DeeZone

The Good: Driving to the G, the anticipation walking through the park mingling with the fans from both sides Sitting in our usual seats surrounded by familiar friendly Dee supporters and eating a pie. Singing the song multiple times after a hard fought win or relaxing early in the game when we are on too early The Bad: Walking back to the car after a loss and hearing the opposition song being belted out. Rude drunken supporters acting like they won the game!! Not being able to watch the replay when we get home and reliving the what if’s fresh in your mind.

I received the North Email as well I thought what a bloody cheek and deleted it.!!

Thanks Demonland and KV greatly appreciated. Now on to the real stuff. Go Dees.!!!

LH and Roy11 I like to keep it simple when I pay for a Membership whether it is a single or multiple memberships special deal I want it included in the count as it is a legitimate financial transaction.!! As long as the AFL recognise the numbers and it helps us become more relevant that is what is important.!!!

There are 6 of us driving in, looking forward to a 30 point win, making a bit of noise and singing the song surrounded by our Dee supporters. Then home to bed to watch the replay.!!!!! go Dees.!!

Thanks LH.

On a different subject LH what is the go with Ticketing next Sat is it back to our Membership Cards, mob in les or something more difficult?

Thanks Demonland and Brodie Grundy great interview and noticed that you were able to fit a lot of the questions in and get honest answers from Brodie. Max downplayed his role in getting Grundy across to the Dees but Brodie has mentioned Max’s influence in his last two interviews and how impressed he was that Max was in the Room. There’s a lot to like about Brodie Grundy and we are indeed fortunate that he chose us and I love Bruce’s dance moves above. Lol.!!!!

Thanks KC greatly appreciated the kids did well to stay with Coburg, accuracy certainly helps.!!!

Some people deserve a second chance and I feel Morris fits into this category he knows a bit about footy and he will be working with a close friend in Sarah Olle. I like Bevo but he is a bit of a Grandstander who needs to focus on footy and not headlines, he has fallen away a bit in my opinion.!! Good luck Tom keep working on your shortcomings it will make you a better human.!!

One thing in Josh’s favour is that he is 200cm and can provide relief forward, back and ruck. Good luck Josh continue to build your tank, strength and physicality you could be the Ace up our sleeve at the pointy end of the season.!!!!

KV I think that Hunter mentioned that he has a couple of days off and was heading to King Island to play golf?

Well we are up to 49,500 so numbers are ticking over nicely should crack 50,000 before Round 1.!!!

Watched the replay when we got home last night went to sleep pretty happy, loved the speed of the game and disposal accuracy at 84% at one stage of the game. Still annoyed by some lose turnovers going forward and a few howlers by the umps but to see Rivers, Sparrow and Bowey take that next step and Chandler, McVee, Laurie and Taj given a run in the ones is very positive. All our stars shone and Grundy and Hunter lived up to the pre-season hype so we are in for one hell of a ride where players will get plenty of opportunities and our stars will be rested adequately to get them to the pointy end of the season in good shape. Now for the Bulldogs at the “G”. Go Dees.!!!!!!!!

Agree that having quality depth allows the team to backfill holes in the side as they open up, we need like for likes where we don’t lose much when players get their opportunities. I am expecting 5-6 players to get their opportunity in 2023 we need to blood players when they are ready to go and not make the mistake of playing sore or injured players like we did last year.!!!

RDB No31 what a man, what a Legend of the MFC and wider football world and as some former great pointed out If the Norm Smith Medal had been available Ron would have won 3.!!! Happy 87th Ronald Dale Barassi.!!!

Yes we did WCW although my daughter and grandaughter placed the order and paid, how terrible that Coles let the Demon Army down on such a critical day. We were coming back for seconds after the players left but the queue was out of control you ladies were flat chat.👍

It was a great turnout we had an enjoyable time and tried the Demon Army sausages and bread x5 very yummy. As mentioned earlier the queue’s were long which limited the number of player autographs but the kids managed to get all the young guns as they were all located in the one area along with JJ, Tommo and Michael Hibberd. How good is Benny Brown he raised $63,000 plus for the cause.! The last time we attended was 2019 it was a smaller event and players were much more accessible but that is the price of success.!!!

After watching him in the match simulation yesterday I had a good look at him and a number of our youngsters at the family day this morning and he looks the goods confidant and friendly with the kids and adults alike. I have high hopes for Will.!!!

Not afraid to show his emotions about the lack of support from his coach and his club, I liked his comment I will (fn) see you on queens birthday. Let’s hope we can harness his talent so that he becomes a Melbourne premiership player and how good would it be against the Pies.!!

Thanks Demonland, Kev and all posters love the blow by blow action in these reports informative and enjoyable.!!!!

Your right Stinga they are more med talls at 6’4” and both very mobile, Fritta and Seston 6’2” ers, we now have a really good spread of talls and will be able to stretch oppo teams at times.!!

I think Perty said that the recovery pool will be completed by June 2023.!!

Goodwin knows that talk is cheap I think we will see him after the practice matches and we are leading into the real season. I know that I cringe whenever I see other coaches being interviewed during pre-season it feels scripted I would rather hear from Williams and Line coaches or the players. But that’s just me. Lol.!!!

With the talent and knowledge that we have on the Board if finding and developing a home base was so easy it would already exist, sometimes we have to acknowledge the difficulties that we face and listen to those that have greater understanding of those difficulties.!!
